India today categorically denied as baseless and speculative media reports of efforts at political level from India to influence political leaders in Sri Lanka regarding elections to appoint a President.
The Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka said India categorically denies such media reports as completely false and termed them a figment of someone’s imagination.
The High Commission reiterated that India supports the realisation of aspirations of the people of Sri Lanka in accordance with democratic means and values, established institutions as well as constitutional provisions, and doesn’t interfere in internal affairs and democratic processes of another country.
